dc.description.abstractThe Southern Benguela has, for various reasons, been a focal point for research particularly in recent years. One of the most notable reasons for this interest can he found in the presence of economically viable fish species and their relationship to the process of upwelling. A numerical model of the entire Southern Benguela Region has previously been set up in order to assist furlher studies in the region. This dissertation presents the use of the model in an investigation on the seasonality and the interannual variability in temperature, salinity and general circulation in the region. Hovmuller Plots of the climatology and the associated anomalies were calculated in order to determine the characteristics of the seasonal cycle. It also became possible to deduce a vertical structure of upwelling.en_ZA
